Petroleum Reservoir Modeling

Q: What is Petroleum Reservoir Modeling?

Petroleum reservoir modeling is the process of constructing quantitative representations of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs to analyze fluid flow, forecast production, and support engineering and economic decisions in oil and gas field development and management. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Petroleum reservoir modeling uses geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and production data to build static and dynamic models of a reservoir. Static models

Petroleum reservoir modeling is the construction and use of quantitative subsurface models of hydrocarbon reservoirs to simulate fluid flow, forecast production, and support engineering, economic, and asset management decisions in oil and gas field development and operations.
